This document defines extensions to the data-plane failure-detection
protocol for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched
Paths (LSPs) known as "LSP ping". These extensions allow a selection
of the LSP to be used for the echo reply return path. Enforcing a
specific return path can be used to verify bidirectional connectivity
and also increase LSP ping robustness.
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
